When did it become wrong to have a belief in something? When did it become wrong to want to have faith? And why is it that becuz someone HAS a faith, they feel it necessary to bring down EVERYONE else who DOESN'T Believe in what they do? And when did it become someones business to make people feel like crap becuz of what they believe?

I am so friggin tired of seeing people bash on other of things such as RELIGION! (politics, and parenting are in there too!) I am so tired of being called a liar or hypocrit becuz I am a christian!!!! When do we grow up and realize that not EVERYONE is gonna believe what we want them to? Or that people have a different outlook on life... and thats ok!!!??

I have been a christian all my life. Now I am not the typical church going christian. I haven't been to church in a few YEARS! (other than easter sunday!) I don't wear a cross around my neck 24/7 (i don't even think I have one!), but there is nothing wrong with those who DO do these things! And I am not the kind of human being to bash on someone becuz they don't believe what I do!

I have my opinions on life.. why things happen, how things came to be, who things will end and what life is all about! As well as my own set of morals to live by! But NEVER EVER will you hear come out of my mouth that someone is a bad person becuz they believe something I don't! NEVER EVER will you see me verbally BASH against a person for their beliefs!

When are we all gonna put on our big girl panties and grow the fuck up? When will we as HUMAN FREAKING BEINGS learn that we all have our own way to life! Our own ways to parent, believe, celebrate, and love!? Why do we think it is ok to make someone feel lower that ourselves becuz of their opinions!?

I don't get it! I am not someone who stands by and takes verbal abuse or bashing on something I believe, becuz NEVER would I do it! So where do people think they have this right? I don't care if your black, white, red, orange, blue, your hair is multi-colored, your nails are painted black, you live in orange county, or the bronx, I don't care if you love Nsync or Korn. I don't care if you have blue eyes, brown eyes, blond hair, 1 kid, 4 kids, married, straight, Bi, Lesbian, Muslim, christian, atheist, jewish, short, tall, fat, skinny, a SAHM or a WM! I DONT FRIGGIN CARE! You are a HUMAN FREAKING BEING! You have a heart, a brain, and a life! And what you believe and what you feel is the RIGHT way to live is completely and totally fine with me! You have that right! And I am HAPPY and GLAD that you have chosen to live for something... or believe in something... even if I don't agree with it!

The ONLY THINGS i ASK is that you respect me and my choices just the same... I'll put up a nativity scene... you put up your own symbol next to it! I don't care.. becuz this time of year isn't supposed to be about bashing on one another or hating one another or causing a comotion... it is about love and giving! Wether you believe in Jesus or NOT! He may eb the reason for the season.. to some people! But Christmas... the time of the year.. was started to celebrate family and friends! To give gifts and love to one another... wether by celebrating in his birth or in just the season of giving! If you celebrate Kwanzaa or any other religious meaning to this season... ENJOY IT! So to EVERYONE I ask to take one step back before pressing the reply button... read over all the answers to questions or opinions you amy have and make sure they are valid opinions not meant to hurt someone or be a SMART ASS! That you respect that other people are ENTITLED to your their own opinions! That people will disagree with you! But that doesn't mean they are rude or nasty! And make sure that you are being kind! Not just during the winter months... but all year long!

And if this task I ask is so impossibly hard.. then I pitty you! I pity the fact that you can't open your hearts and minds for 2 seconds to see that we are all in this together! I pity you becuz you can never see the beauty in the differences of our race! I pity you becuz you;ll never understand what  life is all about!

So to all the judgemental people... grow up and get over it and see that people are entitled to think for themselves.. and live by thumpers rule of thumb ... if you can't say anything nice.. don't say anything at all!

Ps. And to all those people out there that "christians" are such horrible people.. open your eyes to this! I am a christian and proud of it. But I will never judge you for a choice you made or a belief you hold.. so stop labeling ALL christians as "evil people"!

I agree. It is not MY job to judge others. That's God's job.
